The Saturday, Oct. 28, live racing card at Aqueduct in Queens, N.Y., was cancelled because of heavy rain and strong winds.


Three stakes races scheduled–the grade II, $150,000 First Flight Handicap for fillies and mares at seven furlongs, the grade III, $150,000 Sport Page Handicap for 3-year-olds and up at seven furlongs and the grade III, $100,000 Knickerbocker Handicap for 3-year-olds and up at nine furlongs on the turf–have all been re-scheduled for next Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Day program at the Big A. The Knickerbocker had been moved earlier in the week with the first forecast of severe weather.


Racing will resume at Aqueduct on Sunday, with first-race post of 12:30 p.m. Be sure to turn all clocks back one hour tonight, as Daylight Savings Time comes to an end
